Har har.

One man's blink is another man's squint.

Or something.

BTW, check the stats - 600's get to 60 (100km/h ) just as fast (in some
cases faster) then the litre bikes.

It's after that it all goes downhill for the 2 pint brigade.

Do they!? I've never seen such a set of figures. My only conclusion
would be that the litre bike jockey would have to be incompetent.

And actually, a bit of thought, it does make some sense.
Easier to get the power down etc etc.

Note as i said this is up to 60. After that, forget about it obviously.

And it's unlikely you would. I mean, who's interested in 0-60 figures
anyway? They're pretty meaningless and incredibly difficult to
accurately measure once you get below say, 5 seconds or so.

>My only conclusion would be that the litre bike jockey would have to be incompetent.

Oh I dunno - ISTR my XT500 had better 0-60 times than some of the
behemoths that masqueraded as sprots bikes back in them thar days...

Bad form an' all, but it got me thinking, and then I came across this
on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=24837482 79

Tempted, almost, I am. I'd love to have another one of these. Happy
days, and all that...

Yersh. Whenever I've seen 0-60 times, pretty much everything with 100+
horspower does 3.something seconds. Once you've got enough power to
spin the wheel, that's going to be the limiting factor up to such a
low speed. But I'd be very suprised if a 600 could consistently,
measurably and significantly beat a litre bike.

I like to think I know a little of which I speak:

I was looking at some numbers in the latest (to me) PB the other day.
Can't remember what they were. And, um. Yeah. That's it really.

Heh. Top Gear last night were making a similar point about some new
over-pwered Merc that just lights up the rear wheels if you try to gas
it as hard as you can.


I'd also point the learned gentleman to a series of traffic light drag
races between self on a mildly tuned DR-Z 400 supermoto and a bloke on a
litre bike, to whit an old GSX1100E with a Harris race pipe, last week
off the lights on the Walworth Rd. The DR-Z easily got away first and
it took the GSX until we were doing about 40-50 a hundred yards or so on
to come past. Repeated at the Camberwell Green lights and Denmark Hill
lights for good effect :-)

I'm good with numbers if they mean something. I can read a balance
sheet. I'm the quickest with the chalk if I'm having a game of darts
in the pub. But I was looking at this thing in PB and it was about
which bike was .1 of a second quicker to 60. And it wasn't
necessarily the most powerful one (but I can't even remember which
bikes were involved). And I was thinking "oh". And now I have *no*
recollection.

Really, I wouldn't consider anything more than 450 4T.
I was thinking of getting a KTM so I could, motocross, enduro and
fit supermoto wheels.

I was thinking about the 450.
Although I still like strokers off road.

It certainly does appear to be a bit on the large side, but apparently it
works. Not the sort of thing to take anywhere difficult though, I
wouldn't have thought.
